As I recall, giardia is hard to see, sometimes because it has
different stages so it can be a pain. Bless MeMe's little heart--you
got her outta there! Bless your hearts, too. What a story! My Lili
had a biiiig patch of ringworm on her very tiny self and we all got
it--just tiny patches but it seemed to be a self-limiting strain and
everyone (including Lili) lost it quite rapidly with treatment (we
had ringworm stuff from the traditional vet--and I used it, too!
Auntie Dr. Val and vet tech Linda said,"You did?" And I said, "I'm a
mammal, too!")

I found MeMe through a photo on Petfinders. It was two months
after NoNo died and there was something about her face that
struck a cord. I called the 'shelter' and was told that she was just
getting over an upper respiratory and was an abandoned kitten who
had been with her for 4 months.
We (my husband) and I drove 7 hours to what turned out to be a
private home in which there were well over 100 cats. We were so
stunned
and so unable to breathe that we simply picked her up from a bed
where she
was sleeping with at least 40 other cats, signed a form, paid a
fee, and left
without breathing.
I had spoken to the woman on the telephone several times before we
decided
to make the trip. She said that she had been tested for FeLV and
was negative but
had the remnants of an upper respiratory. She said she was treating
her for diarrhea
as a result of the antibiotic. What we encountered was a total shock.
We took her to our local (allopathic) vet who was horrified at her
condition (stomatitis
giardia, ringworm and chronic sneezing). She tested negative for
FIV and Bartonella
and was not tested for FeLIV because I said she was negative.
Her progress has been the (almost) elimination of sneezing and
ringworm. The first
giardia treatment did not work, so our homeopath is working on
another treatment.
That is MeMe's story. She is affectionate and confident and has
become the alpha member of our
pack of two Scottish Terriers. She bonded with them instantly and
they seem so happy to
have her.
I'm writing into the ethers, just to make this real.
